Story from a long time ago.

Kayak on roof with open cockpit and no bulkheads.

Parked with the front of the car facing slightly downhill.

It rained hard the previous night.

Untied the ties. All the accumulated water in the bow of the kayak, flipped it down on the hood and it slid to the ground. It was a double and HEAVY with the water. The dent stayed there for the next 6 years that I owned that car.
